Hi,Could someone help me with this or share an example script with me?Here is what I want to accomplish:(1) input 3 values into 3 boxes on a web page(2) there is an authentication code each time you access this page and I have to write this code into the fourth box on the same page(3) click "submit" button(4) this web page will turn into a page with a table having a value calculated from my inputs(5) extract this value into a local file(6) repeat the above for 12000 times.I would really appreciate it if someone can tell me how to do it using python script. I am new to python web programming.Thanks,mxywp -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: question: script to input data into a webpage and then retrievethe result?
Thank you, Christoph! I used twill to get my data. And Titus is really helpful in helping me learn how to use it. Thank Paul, Haiyun and Dennis for your comments! Actually it turned out that the authentication code on that web page is kind of a joke. I finally found out that you could still submit a successful query and get desired result by ignoring the code. In rare cases the code is required. For most of the time it's useless. Isn't it funny?
